Questions people ask about First Step Farm of WNC Inc
What levels of care does First Step Farm of WNC Inc offer?
They provide inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Candler is set up for.
Does First Step Farm of WNC Inc offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Candler offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does First Step Farm of WNC Inc prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Candler.
Does First Step Farm of WNC Inc treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Candler.
Who are the programs at First Step Farm of WNC Inc built for?
People dealing with past trauma are one of the 6 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
What does the court need from the program?
It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. The court usually specifies a level of care or a number of hours, and that narrows which programs qualify. Ask exactly what gets reported, to whom, and how often.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
Who has access to my records?
A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.
